What is Charis Seed ?
(/ˈkeɪrɪs/; Greek: Χάρις)
a given name meaning "grace, kindness, beauty, and life"
The story of our family is a beautiful narrative filled with great adventure, risk, faith, tragedy, and grace. After years of longing for a family, God saw fit to grow our family through the gift of adoption, both international and domestic! When our youngest daughter was born (who actually was our first child), we knew right away. Charis. God had heard the cry of our hearts and through His grace had given us a child, and then shortly after added to our family two African sons.
The story told through our family is beautiful and different and we treasure each moment.
It is through this lens, that we long to capture the story and the beauty of each family....your Charis.
Life is a precious gift, and what we have been given is today. Nothing more and nothing less. We know the value your loved ones hold in your heart, and believe in creating art, little seeds, that will capture these precious moments in time for you and your family, and will grow for generations.
We can't wait to capture the beauty of your story.
